Abstract
We present a continuous time predator-prey model and predator’s growth subjected to component Allee effect. The model also includes density dependent mortality of predator. We investigate our model both analytically and numerically, and highlighted the effect of density independent mortality and Allee effect. In our system, we find that a fixed point representing the extinction of predator is always a stable point. When coexistence equilibria exists our system is bistable. We have observed that tristability is possible for our model that includes two stable co-existence fixed point. The most important phenomena which we have observed are hydra effect and cascading effect. Due to component Allee effect in predator the system shows multiple hydra effect. We discuss the phenomenon of bubbling, which indicates increasing and decreasing of amplitudes of cycles. We have presented one-parametric as well as two-parametric bifurcation diagram and also all possible bifurcations that the system could go through.
期刊介绍:
Ecological Complexity is an international journal devoted to the publication of high quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of biocomplexity in the environment, theoretical ecology, and special issues on topics of current interest. The scope of the journal is wide and interdisciplinary with an integrated and quantitative approach. The journal particularly encourages submission of papers that integrate natural and social processes at appropriately broad spatio-temporal scales.
Ecological Complexity will publish research into the following areas:
• All aspects of biocomplexity in the environment and theoretical ecology
• Ecosystems and biospheres as complex adaptive systems
• Self-organization of spatially extended ecosystems
• Emergent properties and structures of complex ecosystems
• Ecological pattern formation in space and time
• The role of biophysical constraints and evolutionary attractors on species assemblages
• Ecological scaling (scale invariance, scale covariance and across scale dynamics), allometry, and hierarchy theory
• Ecological topology and networks
• Studies towards an ecology of complex systems
• Complex systems approaches for the study of dynamic human-environment interactions
• Using knowledge of nonlinear phenomena to better guide policy development for adaptation strategies and mitigation to environmental change
• New tools and methods for studying ecological complexity
